Her dark eyes were cold and quiet, with a seriousness about getting to the bottom of things.
In the past, this was the look Xu Guanzhou disliked the most.
But it was different now, she was facing Gu Ci.
For some reason, facing this King of Hell in Sichuan City, she was not as scared as she imagined.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it..." Without waiting for the man's answer, she quickly turned her face.
Gu Ci grabbed her wrist and said, "It's Huo Yubai."
"Is that the follower next to you? Did he do it on purpose?"
Cheng Lu hit the nail on the head.
Gu Ci looked at her. This little woman's fair face was full of stubbornness and her bright red lips made him a little obsessed.
He lowered his voice and said, "I will give you an explanation for this matter."
She had her own ideas and shook her head: "No, can you let me meet him?"
"good."
The man's deep voice was filled with intoxicating hints of alcohol, and his eyes were a bit darker, revealing a bit of gloom.
Meeting his gaze, Cheng Lu's heart trembled and he was a little scared.
This man's eyes were as calm as abyss, but there was still a fire burning deep in them.
Just looking at him made her tremble all over, as if she was in the palm of his hand.
"Go to sleep."
"I, I'm going to take a bath first, you go to bed first."
She ran away.
By the time she came out of the bathroom, Gu Ci had already fallen asleep.
There is still an empty space beside him, which is specially reserved for her.
She lay down gently with her hands and feet, and just as she was about to close her eyes, the man's arms had already wrapped around her slender waist, and he naturally pulled her into his arms.
Her back was pressed against the man's chest, hot and intense.
Oops! Why did her heartbeat speed up?
It had been her biggest dream for the couple to sleep together like this.
Now that he has achieved it, the man next to him is Gu Ci, whom he has never imagined!
It took a long time for her to fall asleep. She was woken up by someone before she even opened her eyes in the early morning.
Before she could get angry, Gu Ci said, "Let's go downstairs and see how that guy Huo Yubai apologizes to you."
"Is he here?"
"Well, let him wait in the flower hall."
Under Gu Ci's arrangement, she washed up and tidied up slowly, had breakfast leisurely, and then went to the reception area.
There was a man kneeling in the center of the flower hall. Cheng Lu took a closer look and saw that it was Huo Yubai!
Huo Yubai drooped his head, his face full of regret and regret.
Seeing Cheng Lu and Gu Ci coming, he hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, I was wrong, please forgive me, I will never dare again! I just wanted to test you last night to see if you are really worthy."
Our Brother Gu, I made a mistake at the moment, I'm sorry!"
Cheng Lu was stunned.
But she quickly calmed down: "Oh, since you said you apologize, I would like to ask, why do you think you judge whether I am worthy of Gu Ci?"
"I..." Huo Yubai got stuck.
How can you tell the truth without offending others?
Last night, he was just angry for a moment and deliberately told the wrong booth location, leading Cheng Lu to that person. He just wanted to use someone else's hands to show this woman a little bit.
Unexpectedly, before dawn today, Gu Ci would send someone to the door.
He directly dragged Huo Yubai out of bed and into the garden hall of Chenyuan, where he knelt down for two hours.
Cheng Lu's smile was cool.
"Don't worry, I just want to know the whole story. Just get up and talk. If you have something to say, talk it over properly next time. You don't have to do this. I'm still young, and I'm afraid my life will be shortened if you kneel too much."
Huo Yubai:......
Gu Ci frowned: "Let him kneel."
"It's really not necessary. He's here for me. If you have any questions, I'll ask him in person. Just don't interfere. If you do this, won't people hate me even more?"
Gu Ci: "Okay..."
My wife had the final say, and the King of Hell could only nod obediently.
Huo Yubai was stunned.
He looked at Gu Ci and then at Cheng Lu, and then he had to admit the special status of this woman in Gu Ci's heart.
Cheng Lu: "Why don't you get up? Do you want me to invite you?"
Huo Yubai gritted his teeth and stood up.
Cheng Lu asked Uncle Huber to bring tea, and then invited Huo Yubai to sit on the sofa, and the two began to talk face to face.
Seeing her elegant and generous manners, her natural dignity seemed to be engraved in her bones, Huo Yubai had to admit - this woman was truly worthy of being the first daughter of Sichuan City.
"Mr. Huo has always been loyal to Gu Ci. The Huo family has close ties with the Haofeng Group. You have always been by his side. This move should be directed at me and has nothing to do with Gu Ci, right?"
Huo Yubai nodded hesitantly.
She smiled sweetly: "The reason why you do this is because you think I am divorced and not worthy of Gu Ci, right?"
Huo Yubai was surprised.
Few people are willing to expose their shortcomings to others, let alone talk about them openly.
Especially, this Miss Cheng is still so young.
He is only twenty-three years old this year.
Cheng Lu narrowed his eyes: "It's actually not difficult to guess, but it's just the prejudice of the world. You thought I was not worthy of Gu Ci, so you attacked me to teach me a lesson."
"But have you ever thought that the person who wants to marry me is Gu Ci. As long as he nods, other people's opinions don't matter at all."
"As for you, there is the entire Huo family behind you. You are not the only successor to the Huo family, but you are the one closest to Gu Ci. If Gu Ci changes his view of you because of my relationship, even
If you no longer trust me, what you will lose is more than just being taught a lesson by him."
Her voice was as soft as a cloud, floating in the air little by little.
This woman is so amazing!
Every sentence points out the key point!
The more Huo Yubai thought about it, the more scared he became. He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Gu Ci: "Brother Gu, I really know that I was wrong. I was just angry for the moment. I promise there won't be a next time."
Gu Ci sneered twice and said nothing.
Cheng Lu smiled faintly: "Sichuan City seems to be stable now, but many interests are complicated, and I don't want to cause you to suffer heavy losses because of me. I just want to tell you that I am Mrs. Gu, and I will try my best to do this well.
The character will not let you down."
As she spoke, she glanced at the man next to her with extremely gentle eyes.
——How about it? This inner confession is quite accurate, right?
Unexpectedly, Gu Ci's face turned half dark.
Huo Yubai was moved: "Thank you, sister-in-law..."
This time my sister-in-law said it more sincerely than before.
After sending Huo Yubai away, Cheng Lu found that someone was angry.
She was confused: "Did I say something wrong?"
Gu Ci hummed: "No."
——This woman still feels that she is playing the role of Mrs. Gu and has no consciousness at all! It’s annoying!
My wife is married, so how can I make this little woman fall in love with me?
With the strong support of Haofeng Group and the heavy investment by the Li family, within half a month, a beautifully decorated and modernly designed medical center was built.
On the day of its completion, celebrities from all walks of life in Sichuan City came to congratulate.
Li Xiumeng specially came to invite Cheng Lu in person.
